Neurodiversity, Trauma, and Campus Response: Supporting Student Survivors of Sexual Assault
Supporting neurodivergent college students who have experienced sexual assault is essential to ensuring equitable, trauma-informed care and fair institutional processes. Join VALOR for a web conference to review how trauma affects the brain and explore why responses may look different in neurodivergent individuals.
Participants will learn how communication differences, sensory sensitivities, and executive functioning challenges can influence disclosure, forensic exams, and Title IX investigations. The session will also outline best practices for providing supportive, bias-aware responses throughout reporting, investigation, and ongoing therapy or academic accommodations.
